THE EXACT REASONS WHY YOU MIGHT NOT GET A FIRST CLASS DEGREE

 1. Procrastination.

Procrastination is one of the 10 habits you must quit as a student. It is a noxious enemy of first
class degree. Does it sound odd? How often do you find yourself saying, “In a minute, I’ll get to it” or “Tomorrow’s good enough” and every other possible excuse in the book? Compare it with how often you decide it’s got to be done. This tells you how serious procrastination is. Procrastinating on when to read, do assignment, do researches etc. are the antagonists of your first class ambition.

2. Involving in too much activities.

It is good to be an all rounder but too much of it drains your reading time. I am not objecting the fact that you can always manage your time but it is easier said than done. Put your activities into check and don’t involve in what will cheat you of your reading time. Don’t bite more than what you can chew.

3. Disdaining classes.

I have heard of many graduate with 2.1 that ‘stabbed’ classes on a regular basis. But I am yet to see or hear of a genuine first class student/ graduate that deliberately missed classes. The moment you start stabbing classes, the moment
you open door for the “anti-first class”.

4. Influencing yourself with the mediocre
students.

Except you are helping them to become better students (that’s only if they are ready to be) associating yourself with them as they will only kill your great dream of coming out with a first class
degree.

5.Not taking internship and project work
seriously.

(Internship) is mainly for science and engineering students. Internship has a combined credit load of about 12 – 15 units depending on the course and the institution. Imagine what damage a ‘B’ can do a first class student! You don’t necessarily have to work for a top company as an intern. Sloppiness in filling log books, poorly written internship report, and inadequate preparation towards defense of industrial attachment are enough to cost you an ‘A’ grade. Project and practical works also carry significant credit load as well. Practical work can be particularly tedious, and undisciplined students
can be lax about it.

6. Looking down on small courses.

You might want to place less significance on those courses with smaller units buy they also count. As a first class aspirant, you should never look down on any course.

7. Teaching friends in the examination
hall.

You are there thinking you are helping friends,
unknowingly, you are helping fiends. You are giving chance to your first class enemies. I guess you don’t know the implications of teaching people in the examination hall. It can annihilate all what you have gathered in the past years in a tickle of an eyes. Just allow the invigilators to catch you.

8. The Sadist lecturers.

If you call them ‘enemies of first class’ you made no mistake. (But there are always escape routes, that is only if you care to know them). I must tell you, these sadistic lecturers are indeed enemies of first class.

9. Not studying hard enough.

Don’t be deceived by the sugarcoated mouths. Coming out with first class is never a child’s play. It requires hard work. If you are not the reading type and you are not ready to join the reading team. I am sorry, think of another thing and dash the hope of graduating with first class degree.

10. Campus relationship.

Per adventure you don’t know what it costs to be in a relationship on campus. It costs you your reading time and also, your time of assimilation. You won’t find it funny when you realise the only thing you could do when lectures are going on is thinking about your beautiful girlfriend.
